The Center for innovation and Excellence in eLearning (CIEE), the premier center of its kind, promotes, encourages and sponsors the study of eLearning in the university, corporate, and public sectors.
Based on the campus of UMass Boston, and working hand-in-hand with other campuses in the UMass system, the center serves as a linchpin for research and critical thought on eLearning in its many forms, including online education, mobile learning, and multimedia education.
CIEE will publish a peer-reviewed research journal to serve the academic community by disseminating new knowledge related to eLearning.
